The Grand Golden Circle and Crater is a compact tour that takes you to a series of remarkable and diverse sites in the Southwest of Iceland in a span of only eight hours. If you are only doing one tour in Iceland, this is the one!
In the Geysir geothermal area, we get the chance to observe the boiling hot spring Strokkur spout steaming water up to 30 meters into the air every 8 minutes.
The iconic waterfall of Gullfoss, or Golden Falls, is only a 7 minutes’ drive from Geysir – located in the glacial river Hvítá. It's elegant and majestic form is like no other, where the torrential river water plummets in two steps down into a 32 meters deep canyon.
Þingvellir National Park is not only a site of geological wonder, located at the intersection of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates but also a place charged with history, as the site of the national parliament since 930. Þingvellir tells stories of geographical and political struggles, compromises and ongoing evolution. Þingvellir was accepted on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its cultural values in 2004.
Additionally, the tour includes a visit to the volcanic crater lake Kerið.

Sharon P. | Traveled in December
Our tour guide, Kristen, was fabulous! She provided so many extras to our trip by telling us stories about the land and the people and also bought us traditional Icelandic treats.
Robin C. | Traveled in December
This was an amazing tour! When I booked it I wasn’t sure that I would enjoy a pre planned tour, however I was very pleased that everything was handled for us and when there was an issue and plans had to be adjusted we could relax and it was handled for us. Our tour operator Darko was amazing! I highly recommend this tour. Sky lagoon and Diamond Beach were the highlights for me and of course the northern lights!! I’d also like a shout out to our driver Daniel he was fabulous!
Mary P. | Traveled in December
Everything went smoothly, we have a fabulous tour guide who went above and beyond to make sure we were all enjoying our time in Iceland. We learned so much about the history and culture. Our excursions were a good variety of things to make our trip special. The lodge was wonderful and the food exceptional. I want to go back!

Wow! If it's adventure you are after, then you've come to the right place. Iceland has so much to offer, not only the Northern Lights. There are glacier hikes, caving, surfing, whale watching to name a few activities in Iceland. For the not so physical, there are beautiful waterfalls and amazing landscapes that are breathtaking to say the least. If you have never been to Iceland and you're contemplating it, do it! You won't regret it.
Meghan M. | Traveled in December
Everything was Great, especially our tour guide! We enjoyed all of the diverse landscapes and landmarks that we visited. Reykjavík & Vik were wonderful. The waterfalls, northern lights and Icelandic horses were our favorites. The adults enjoyed Sky lagoon and all it offered. It was such an eventful and adventurous trip! We’d definitely go back and would recommend Collette!!
Phyllis M. | Traveled in December
It was my first group tour. I appreciated all the thought, planning, arrangements made on our behalf. With transportation, transports, accommodations, entrance fees, guides, breakfast & dinner included, it was the most worry free trip I've ever taken. Each stop along the way felt like an adventure -a surprise - not just because Iceland is unique in so many ways, but because I didn't plan the trip. As an older woman of small stature, my ability to navigate the rigors of Iceland in November was respected, yet I felt safe & taken care of.
